North Riding Day takes place annually on 22 August.
It marks the date of the battle of the Standard (1138), when English forces defeated the Scots near Northallerton.
The name of the battle derives from the consecrated banners of the minsters of Durham, York, Beverley and Ripon.
These flew from a mast mounted on a cart that marked the centre of the English position.

We had our annual AGM this evening.
We discussed various flag-related stuff, and signed off our annual report, but NOTHING beats the excitement of collectively testing the 'Raise Hand' button on Zoom ✋
